Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1936: Chapter 1904: Yuan Ascends to Heavenly Man

Jiang Ding returned to the Xianmen Sect, once again entering the orbit of the Great Sun, revealing a hint of nostalgia.

After years of cultivation, he had practiced in many places: Northern Plains, Thunder Flame Domain, Colorful Divine Light Domain, Sealed Spirit Forbidden Domain. Many places were wonderful and beautiful.

However, if there was a place that could truly be called home, it would be the place in front of him.

“Swordsman!”

In the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, Yue flew over here swiftly, staring at the Dari Swordsman with shining eyes, full of anticipation.

The last time she saw the Dari Swordsman, he promised that when he saw the Great Sun Heavenly Pond again, he would upgrade her to a Heavenly Human Rank inheritance artifact.

“Yue,”

“You really have no conscience.”

Jiang Ding pouted, “I’ve been away for so many years, and you didn’t even pretend to ask how I’ve been or whether I’m doing well.”

“Are you still well?”

He said discontentedly.

“Hehe!”

“What’s there to ask?”

“Swordsman, since you’re still alive and haven’t been killed by anyone, you must be doing very well and happily.”

Yue scoffed dismissively.

“Similarly,”

“Since you haven’t been killed by anyone, you must be very wealthy!”

Yue’s eyes lit up, speaking loudly.

She clearly indicated that he shouldn’t make excuses or forget his previous promise.

As a pragmatic Array Spirit, she had lived submissively for tens of thousands of years, bowing and scraping when she met someone, always accommodating and gentle, with no temper at all, willingly helping anyone who asked, completely losing her past arrogance.

“Uh…”

Jiang Ding was speechless.

“Alright,”

“You’re right, I have indeed made a small fortune.”

Jiang Ding said helplessly, “Let’s go, I’ll give you an upgrade.”

“I’ve already got inspiration for upgrading the Great Sun Heavenly Pond—it’s the Elimination Method Sun Ban that was created when the Taiqing Flying Sword was upgraded. Using this ban as the core, adding several ninth-rank Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a large amount of seventh and eighth-order Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and synthetic Spiritual Gold, we should be able to refine an even stronger Great Sun Heavenly Pond…”

Leading the delighted Yue towards the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, he spoke as he walked.

This is a tradition of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion; the Ban of the Great Sun Flying Sword and the Great Sun Heavenly Pond are interconnected. In this era, the Taiqing Plane and the Great Sun Heavenly Pond should be the same.

Moreover, Jiang Ding wasn’t actually proficient in Artifact Refining.

However, this was not a problem; none of the previous Great Sun Sword Masters were proficient in Artifact Refining either, nor did they seek help from any Artifact Refinement Sect in refining their sect’s Supreme Treasure; they did it themselves, leaving many inheritances.

This is the way of forcefully simulating the Dao of Artifact Refining with the Sword Dao!

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond can be seen as the Immortal Sword of generations of Great Sun Sword Masters, using their corpses, Sword Souls, and Life Flying Swords as raw materials to unsheathe a sword that can exist eternally, achieving the effect of Artifact Refining through the Sword Dao.

Of course, Jiang Ding was not dead yet, nor did he plan to die.

Therefore, he intended to use a sword he rendered with all his strength as a blueprint, adding various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, synthetic Spiritual Gold, and Formation Method energy cores, to forge a permanent sword that could also absorb external Spiritual Energy and sunlight for restoration.

Jiang Ding returned to the Great Sun Heavenly Pond once more and immediately felt a great sense of peace.

He didn’t rest much, set aside everything, even cultivation, and after initially familiarizing himself with the current Immortal Path R&D system of the Xianmen Sect and meeting various outstanding figures born over these tens of thousands of years, he immediately threw himself into the research of the Transcendence Scripture.

The Dari Swordsman began to closely cooperate with the Xianmen Sect, erupting with an efficiency far exceeding that of the past in an instant.

This sudden drastic improvement in research and development efficiency momentarily startled the Yu Hui Immortal Sect of the Six Great Immortal Sects.

From this moment on, the somewhat slack Yu Hui Immortal Sect of the six within tens of thousands of years immediately burst out with an efficiency surpassing that of the past, with absolute obedience and absolute cooperation with the various directives of the Xianmen Sect.

“Hehe!”

“All old foxes…”

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly during a break in the R&D process.

In the past, of course, it couldn’t be said that the Six Great Yu Hui Immortal Sects became negligent; they always cooperated with the Xianmen Sect on various tasks but apparently became slightly more focused on their own cultivation.

This is natural, as everyone has selfish desires. It’s impossible to consider others in everything, without crossing the line.

Since it didn’t cross the line, there was no need to pay attention.

Time continued to pass.

A very short period, twenty years had already gone by.

In the laboratory, Yuan, Divine Machine God Monarch, and Wan Ji God Monarch all gazed at the Dari Swordsman. The time was too short, and although they helped out, they could barely understand the tasks assigned to them and found it difficult to grasp the whole picture, not knowing if a more refined and efficient Transcendence Scripture was successfully developed.

“Seniors should have confidence in me.”

“I would like you three to point out any mistakes.”

Jiang Ding smiled and handed over a jade slip to the three seniors.

Yuan received the jade slip, held his breath slightly, Divine Sense pouring into it, and felt a slight stir in his heart.

“Nine Transformations of Primordial Magnet Nirvana Transcendence Chapter.”

Just a glance revealed that it was a Transcendence Scripture tailored for him, with profound insights into transcendence laid out eloquently. Every page far surpassed his self-devised “Seven Transformations Feathered Nirvana Technique,” the difference like heaven and earth, with intricate details that invoked admiration and astonishment.

However, as he continued to ponder, Yuan gradually fell silent.

He didn’t speak for a long time.

Wan Ji God Monarch and Divine Machine God Monarch were somewhat puzzled.

They took the jade slip, skimmed through it without seeking deep understanding, and immediately gasped in shock: “One Transformation, Two Transformations, Three Transformations… Six Transformations, Seven Transformations, and the almost certainly deadly Eight Transformations, along with the inevitably fatal Nine Transformations of Transcendence!”

“You really dare to imagine, kid!”

“The seemingly most promising Seven Transformations Nirvana still has a mortality rate of over ninety percent!”

Numb.

The two felt numb.

Asking for help, the kid managed to turn a ninety percent success rate for advancing to Heavenly Human into a ninety percent mortality rate!

“Senior Wan Ji,”

“It had to be done this way.”

Jiang Ding sighed and said, “The inevitably fatal Nine Transformations Transcendence need not be mentioned; it’s outright suicide. The Eight Transformations Transcendence at least leaves a glimmer of hope.”

“I have high hopes for the Seven Transformations Transcendence, with a ten percent success rate. If Senior Yuan succeeds, he will have the potential to become a Great Thousand World Dominator-level Supreme, no longer an unknown in the endless Cosmic Starry Sky.”

“The greater the benefits, the higher the risks.”

“Of course, that’s just my opinion, don’t worry about it.”

Everyone knew this reasoning, sighed, and said nothing more, looking towards Yuan.

What choice would this ruler of the Xianmen Sect make?

“I’ll choose Six Transformations and keep a slight hope for Seven Transformations.”

“Aiming for heaven all at once is unwise.”

Yuan pondered for a long time and said, “I am not a Sword Cultivator, who seeks the chance of life and death on the edge; steady progress is the Righteous Dao. I’ve walked this path in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Surely, there will be chances to climb higher peaks later.”

“Just like when I was in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the Nine Spirits Realm back in the day, who dared to dream of today?”

“Leave it to the future!”

“Hahaha, I’m off too!”

Yuan laughed heartily, without any regret, greed, or reluctance, making his choice just like that.

He took a step, flying towards the sky.

Boom!

At that moment, accompanied by a thunderous sound, the rolling Thunder Tribulation Clouds surged in, covering the sky and sun, with terrifying pressure enveloping the earth and stars, causing countless anomalies.

The Heavenly Tribulation for the Heavenly Man Rank of the Xianmen Sect ruler, Yuan, had arrived!
